In discussions of what's good for society as a whole, sometimes I have to divorce myself from my own personal well-being in ...[text shortened]... ve action toward African-Americans? Yes.
Do I want to lose out on a job because of it?
No.
I actually agree with telerion for some reason.
And this was brought up in my African-American history class last year. There was a black girl who didn't get into a black college because a lesser qualified(White or Asian, don't remember), got in.
Do I support it, yes.
Do I want to be screwed in it? No.
It's like airplane searches.
Do you want them to do anything possible to protect people from terrorism? Yes. Do you want to be the one pulled for a random search? No.
Either way, a black coach is important, and if whites didn't ruin the economy for blacks from the 1900's to 1960's, then maybe all this would have happened sooner, there'd be much less racial tension, and then people wouldn't need to say things like "It shouldn't matter, what color he is", when in a way, that's subtle racism. It's a way to make it seem, like you are color blind and a great person, even though some people who say it are actually thinking, "Got damn I'm tired of this being news, I don't give a damn about this black power and all this nonsense. I thought we were over this, they aren't slaves anymore, gosh! If the coaches were white this wouldn't even be discussed!"
I don't think any of you are thinking this, but still, a lot of the people saying that it doesn't matter, are really thinking this 😉
